Senator Thune

I mean, we are bound by arithmetic in the United States Senate.

The votes currently aren't there.

There are important security requirements that go with any building project.

in the white house we want to make sure that any additions made down there are completed in a way that ensures that the president and others in his administration are safe and secure and i think that that is something that i feel like we have a responsibility to do and and so the secret service and other you know agencies that protect the president are obviously going to be paying a lot of attention to how this thing is structured how it's built and i i do believe that there is certainly

some expectation that there would be dollars allocated for that purpose that would go above and beyond the private money that's been raised.

But I haven't seen any of the details on that reporting and haven't seen a White House response to it.

So, you know, that's my general view overall about this, but we'll get you more when we have those specifics.
